The Genius Mage

Chapter 269: Encounter With the Fire Dragon

After dealing with the Lion King, Audrey was about to leave when she saw the crystal ball on her waist light up. This crystal ball was given to her by the elders before they set off. Everyone had one, and they said that they were using it to accumulate energy.

Could it be that the way to accumulate energy was to fight?

Audrey frowned. That was really an unfriendly way. She snorted and put the crystal ball away.

Since they were going to live here for half a month, Audrey was not in a hurry to find the energy ball. Before they came, they could not bring any food. Therefore, finding something to fill their stomachs was the most important thing at the moment.

With her perception, Audrey knew that this island was very big. It was surrounded by the sea and the rest of the place was filled with forests. It seemed like a peaceful island, but in fact, it was fraught with danger.

Audrey could not relax. She kept feeling that there was a different kind of danger on the island.

After walking into the forest, Audrey found some wild fruit trees. Because she was an alchemist, she could easily determine whether the fruits were edible or not.

Fortunately, the fruits here are not poisonous, Audrey thought to herself.

In this way, Kate and the others would not be in danger of accidentally eating them.

After picking some fruits, Audrey directly placed them into the otherworldly realm. Although she could also put them in her spatial pocket, her intuition told her that the otherworldly realm would be better.

While observing the situation here, Audrey collected food.

Soon, the sun set and the isolated island was pitch black. Audrey used magic to conjure a ball of fire to warm and illuminate it.

After staying here for a day, Audrey was basically clear that the island had short days and long nights. It was very humid and hot, and all kinds of insects and beasts would come and go.

She did not know how Kate and the others were doing.

Klein and the others were all members of the advanced class. Audrey was not that worried. Kate was the only one she was worried about the most, afraid that something would happen to him.

After some thought, Audrey decided to find the others first.

Although the Elder said that she would be acting alone this time, there was no rule that she could not find companions. This was not considered a violation, right?

Unfortunately, the aura here was too complicated. She could not sense Kate and the others’ auras at all, so she could only slowly search.

During the day, the temperature on the island rose very quickly, and the forest was extremely humid and hot. Fortunately, with the power of the snow goddess, Audrey was able to keep her body in a cool state.

Audrey knew very well that finding companions was not an easy task, so she was also in the process of finding them, completing the mission given by the Elder.

She walked cautiously through the forest. Although her perception ability was not very useful here, Audrey still tried her best to sense the energy around her.

Suddenly, powerful energy was emitted.

Audrey immediately stopped in her tracks. She stood where she was for a moment before turning to her right. She looked ahead with a hint of certainty in her eyes.

It’s around here.

She sensed powerful energy. Perhaps it was the energy ball that the Elder had mentioned.

Audrey carefully walked forward for a while before she saw a cave in the middle of the forest. There was still some water dripping in front of the cave. Compared to the humid heat of the forest, it was very cold there.

“Looks like this is the place,” Audrey muttered to herself.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile as she prepared herself. She walked towards the cave and a cool breeze blew into her face. Audrey’s entire body and mind relaxed. After taking a few steps in, she could see a faint green light.

Is that the energy ball?

Audrey’s azure eyes narrowed slightly. After sizing it up for a few seconds, she was about to step forward to retrieve it when a figure suddenly appeared and nearly swept her to the ground.

Fortunately, Audrey’s reaction was quick. With a flash, she dodged her opponent’s attack.

When she stabilized her body, she saw that it was a Fire Dragon that was attacking her. It had eight claws under its body, and it was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It looked a little frightening.

However, Audrey was still very calm.

“So it was you who ambushed me.” Audrey snorted coldly and said in an unhappy tone.

Boom! With a loud bang, the Fire Dragon was already in front of Audrey, as though blaming her for barging in. Audrey knew very well that the Fire Dragon must be a beast that guarded the energy ball. It seemed like if she wanted to take the energy ball away, she had to deal with Fire Dragon.

“I have no intention of hurting you. Just give me the energy ball,” Audrey said straightforwardly.

“Don’t even think about it,” the Fire Dragon reprimanded sternly, “foolish human, how dare you barge in here.”

“You asked for it.” Audrey’s eyes turned cold. The longsword in her hand was already emitting a cold light. She chanted in a low voice, “Great Goddess of ice and snow, please grant me the power of ice and snow.”

In an instant, the sky and earth froze, and the water droplets also condensed into ice.

The water in the air turned into sharp swords and fell down, but they all perfectly avoided Audrey. No matter how the Fire Dragon dodged, he could not avoid being hit.

However, the ice did not seem to have much effect on him. Instead, it angered the Fire Dragon. His long body rolled a few times in the air and the ice instantly thawed.

In the next second, the Fire Dragon flew over. He swung his tail and nearly swept Audrey away.

Audrey reacted quickly and appeared behind the Fire Dragon. She gathered her battle Qi in her palm and shouted sternly, “Wind-breaking slash!”

A blue light shot toward the Fire Dragon, emitting a burning smell.

The Fire Dragon let out an angry cry and roared toward the sky.

“Damn humans!” The Fire Dragon roared angrily and danced in the air. The huge mouth of the abyss suddenly opened, and a few fireballs shot out from it.

Audrey was surprised. She did not expect the Fire Dragon to have such a skill. It must have been cultivated for many years.

A few fireballs were nothing to Audrey.

“Frost,” Audrey shouted in a low voice. She condensed a few frost balls in her hand, and when they collided with the fireballs, they turned into nothingness.
